Its easy. Go on an airplane and just sit, take out $200 and put it on your head. FLYING UNDER $200 SIR... Jus Kiddin' Here it is.... here, go to quick silver, the chheeeeeeeeeaaaaaapppppeeeeeeeessssssst.

200$ worth of bus tickets and go to all the places where rich people live. Go dumpsterdiving in every big dumpster you find to gather materials. Hope to find a couple of really expensive things you can sell to gather at least 30.000$ Buy a cheap ultralight airplane. Get lessons.

Fly for 200$ worth of effort...

No, really, dont try this. if you get lucky enoough to make something that really fly's, than the minute you get lift will feel like the biggest achievement ever. The minute you land and break every single bone in your body, the feeling of achevement will wither away like snow before the sun.

The best thing you can do is indeed try and get some flying lessons for that 200$, than youl find out if it really is something to persue. If it is, talk to you instructor, he might just find out the best way to get into flying for a living ;-)

Greets. P.S. If you how ever find out how to achieve flight for under 200$ in a safe and easy way... POST IT!!!

It works fantastic! straight up to the last centimeter from the ground... than its mostlikely a couple of broken bones or fun with your great-great-grandparrents in walhalla.

Than again, if you make a wellmade construction thats light enough, it might work to get some lift with carboard wings. You would only need some other materials that make it strong enough to handel the preasure of windforces and stuff.
